TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ruled out the possibility of talks with the US, and said that it would be a waste of time as experience shows that Washington does not honor its commitments.

"There could be no future dialogue with the US at a time when Washington speaks of leaving the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement with the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, France, Britain and China plus Germany)," Rouhani told reporters after his speech at the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday.

"We held negotiations for many years on the nuclear agreement..., but today the Americans talk of leaving the deal; so why should negotiations on other issues be held [with the US]?"

Rouhani also said that US President Donald Trump should "apologize to the Iranian nation" for his UN speech, which he said was a violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Rouhani further added that the country had "various options" such as "the removal of obstacles" if Washington pulls out of the nuclear agreement.

"It means that our hand would be completely open to take any action that we see as beneficial to our country," he added.

During his speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump accused Iran of engaging in “destabilizing activities” in the region.

He also claimed that Iran's "support for terror is in stark contrast to the recent commitments of many of its neighbors to fight terrorism and halt its financing.”

Trump also denounced the nuclear agreement as “an embarrassment” that Washington may abandon.

"We don't think Trump will walk out of the deal despite (his) rhetoric and propaganda," Rouhani said, adding that either the nuclear deal will remain as it is or it will collapse.

Iran and the Group 5+1 signed the nuclear agreement on July 14, 2015 and started implementing it on January 16, 2016.

Backed by UN Security Council Resolution 2231, the JCPOA is an international agreement, which makes it impossible for any party to the deal to withdraw from it.

Since Trump took office, the US has repeatedly threatened to abandon the agreement.
